Concerned About Finding Inexpensive Wedding Centerpieces?

Centerpieces add a touch of beauty and glamor to the reception.
They help set the tone for your reception and can be conversation
starters and double as centerpieces and favors.

Today’s cost conscience brides are hip to the idea of having a
magnificent centerpiece without spending a fortune. If you are making
your own centerpieces, I recommend that you purchase all the items that
you will need to make one arrangement and practice putting it together
several months in advance of your wedding.

Doing this will give you the opportunity to determine how long it
will take to assemble, the actual cost of all the needed items, whether
it will be easily transportable and if it is exactly what you had in
mind.

The above centerpiece was created using Blue Hydrangea's from
someone's garden. If you and some of your friends have hydrangea plants
consider using them to create an inexpensive table arrangement for your
wedding.

Inexpensive Wedding Centerpieces for Fall Centerpiece Ideas

A fall theme wedding lends itself to using nature’s display of
vibrant oranges, yellows, browns and maroons. This inexpensive display
was created using one candle, leaves from a park and a few small votive
candles surrounding the center candle.

Purchase a medium sized pumpkin, carve out the seeds, place a little
water in the base of the pumpkin and then add fresh flowers. If you
prefer dried or silk flowers, leave the water out and place dried or
silk flowers in the center.

If you have lots of time and people to help you, carve out a face on a
pumpkin and place a candle in the center and let the light from the
candle help illuminate the room.

Inexpensive Wedding Centerpieces for Winter Centerpiece Ideas

It’s cold outside but you want your reception room to be warm and
inviting. Who doesn’t love the aroma of crisp pine trees? Go for a walk
in the woods and cut pine branches, spread them out in the center of
your table and scatter pine cones, acorns and artificial snow. To dress
up this centerpiece you can add a few votive candles or one large
candle in the center of the arrangement.

Create your own winter scene by purchasing a clear large bowl,
place the bowl on top of a mirror. Fill the bowl about half way with
batting and create a winter scene by putting a few skaters and other
little figurines on top of the batting. You can put candles and other
winter items around the bowl to create the winter scene that
coordinates with your overall wedding theme.

Inexpensive Wedding Centerpieces for the Spring

The cold, dreary short winter days have passed and now nature's
trees, plants, flowers and your new life as a couple are beginning. I’m

Purchase an inexpensive vase at a dollar or craft store and fill
the vase with flowers from your garden, a wholesale florist or the
supermarket. To further enhance your table arrangements, place your vase on a lace doily or scatter colored glass chips,
purchased at the dollar store, around the base of your vase.
